The Greatest Play in Clemson History (?)
Jan 8, 2019, 10:45 PM

Chase Brice on 4th and 6 against Syracuse.
Making this 1st down gives Clemson legitimate claim to "Greatest Team Ever." If he misses this pass, we still might make the CFP, but any claims of "Greatest Team Ever" are on shaky ground.

I'll always believe ETN was the hero of that game

Not that I think you're wrong, just my thought. 202 rushing yards, kept Syr O on the sideline, rested our D, kept us in it offensively. If he doesn't get it doelne, CB isn't in position for that throw to happen or matter. But I get it.. it was beautiful and the pinnacle play. Cheers.. #1 CLEMSON TIGERS!!

Agree about ETN, he was a hoss in that game. Unseen, however, is just what a gut check or O-line had, too. Those guys showed tremendous character and determination, and were absolutely spent when the game was over. They reminded me of what Lombardi said: "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

With a second left is #1.
This play, Boyd-Watson in 2012 round out there top clutch passes under Dabo.

Chase Brice definitely earned his ring with his play against Syracuse! Best play Deshawn to Renfrow for first Natty since 1981!

I concur with Watsio to Renfrow. The more recent successes stem from that play to win the 2016 Natty.

Great play, but maybe not even the greatest in that game

Props to Brice on this throw and the run that followed, but neither of them matter if not for an incredible third down catch by Renfrow (from Brice) in the 3rd quarter.

critical role in this amazing season.
Just like we don’t win against Syracuse without Chase’s stellar performance, what I saw at A&M tells me we don’t win that game without KB.

I said the same thing after the A&M game, but after watching Trevor the rest of the year, I believe that we win that game by more points if Kelly B was not in the equation at all. Lawrence did not spread his wings until Kelly B was gone. In essence, Lawrence was trying to fit into Kelly B's offense and that was not the best fit.

Personally I would still go back to 1977 and the catch that killed the chickens. Imagine not having been to a bowl game in a couple of decades and a win puts you in the Gator Bowl, which back then was not too far below the New Years Day bowls. At Carolina and you are crushing them 24-0. Then it starts to turn and unbelievably you are down 27-24 late in the 4th quarter. Your option attack with sprint out passes isn’t really built to move the ball quickly but a team that really didn’t know how to win yet somehow drives down and caps off the game with what at the time was a circus jumping, leaping, twisting catch of a pass that wasn’t catchable - and he wasn’t even wearing those super sticky Nike gloves!!! That’s stomping on the Gamecocks hearts in their own building and really launched the program that won its first Natty in 1981.
Or maybe the Renfrow catch. Either one. ??

As a teenager, i was on a church youth group event (we only had 2 all year) deep in the woods of Jasper County during that game.
The adult men were gathered around a tiny TV set. They assured me the Tigers were on top. I managed to sneak off and join them in time to see one play-- the crossing route that went for a 40-yard score to put U5c up 27-24. I guess i groaned louder than them, because they discovered me and sent me back to the activity.
After Clemson won, one of them sought me out to give me the news. When i asked if we won on a Fuller to Butler pass, he was shocked that i knew who they were. I think at that point he was sorry for not letting me stay, since i obviously cared more than most of the adults.
He later became my football coach.

I could agree with that. I like stopping ND 4th and goal a few years ago, that game was nuts.

Right up there with “4th and 16” and “4 to 13”.

"greatest play" and "most valuable" play. Certainly, you can make a case for Brice's pass being the most valuable play but it's not the greatest play ever.
